What is GIS?
Geographic information systems (GIS) lets us visualize, question, analyze, and interpret
data to understand relationships, patterns, and trends. GIS benefits organizations of all sizes and in almost every industry. There is a growing
interest in and awareness of the economic and strategic value of GIS.
